VIP Family Nights

4/29/2009

Tonight is our fist VIP family night of 4 nights total and we are looking forward to hosting a nice party. Unfortunately all 4 family nights are all booked up. We've been getting lots of calls and emails to add more people but we can't do it at this time. If you are on our mailing list but forgot to RSVP, don't worry we'll be planning more activities in the near future. We just needed to limit the size of each party so everyone can enjoy themselves!! You don't have to come to the party to come check us out, now that we are open come anytime during the day! Well, except Monday as we need one day off to keep everything looking shiny and new!

We love being open!

We'll we've officially been open for about a week now and we love it! Thank you to everyone who has come in to check us out and play. There have been many familiar faces and new ones as well. It's great to be part of a network of families that is so supportive and excited to have Scientopia in Napa. Thanks for making us feel so welcome! We hope you'll all come play soon.

Garden Update

4/17/2009

Jennifer Huffman at the Napa Register ran a little article on our theft and we were completely stunned by the amount of support we have received. Thank you to everyone who called or emailed us to show your support.

We got a couple of very generous donations from Sherri and Marie Hildreth, Bob Jessell, and The Little Gourmet which helped us to replace some of what was stolen. Then today we got a donation from Annie's Homegrown which will cover the rest! Wow! We are so thankful for everyone's generosity.

We hope you'll come see what we have done. We promise to post pictures soon!

Theft!

4/12/2009

We're so close to opening and we woke up to a major disappointment today. We were at the building late last night and back again early this morning. Unfortunately when we arrived this morning, the vast majority of our garden had been STOLEN! It saddens me to report that some thief actually dug up most of our plants and flowers and stole them. In addition some colorful new pots and flowers that hadn't been planted yet were stolen. We're hoping this isn't a pattern.

Flooring Finished - Time to move in!

4/3/2009

Our flooring everywhere is now officially complete! It's very exciting to be able to move more exhibits in finally. We will be moving most everything in this weekend! We're getting closer and are likely about 2 weeks away from opening! It's really exciting. We can't wait for you to visit.
